During the class session, all of us had made a presentation in each elements of the story. We are focusing on the differences between the short story, The Interview and the film of " Empire of the Sun". Each group turn to present one or two element of the story according to that short story and film. My group had chosen theme and setting.
What I found really interest in the elements of the story are only two. They are for symbolism and resolution. Starting with "The Interview", some of it's symbolisms are Japanese bow that represent the culture, shake hands show friendship, prison for suffering and watch to give view of time.
Additionally, in " Empire of the Sun" the sun can be seen clearly and regularly that portrayed Japan's flag. Any other symbolism are empire defined as power, car for wealth, sun glases is spirit and the last is the journey for the boy's life.
Furthermore, Empire of the Sun have closed ending in resolution part. For example, "He finally met his parent after the war end". In contrast, The Interview gave me as a reader the open ending. For instance, we did not expect that Hiro was the one that have been executed.
